Two Iranian Su-25 fighter jets fired on an unarmed U.S. Air Force Predator drone in the Persian Gulf on November 1, the Pentagon disclosed on Thursday.
The incident, reported first by CNN, raised fresh concerns within the Obama administration about Iranian military aggression in crucial Gulf oil shipping lanes.
The drone was on routine maritime surveillance in international airspace east of Kuwait, 16 miles off the coast of Iran, U.S. officials said. The Predator was not hit.
Also: U.S. adds to Iran sanctions
"Our aircraft was never in Iranian airspace. It was always flying in international air space. The recognized limit is 12 nautical miles off the coast and we never entered the 12 nautical mile limit," Pentagon Press Secretary George Little said in responding to questions from reporters after CNN reported the incident.
Little said the United States believed this was the first time an unmanned aircraft was shot at by the Iranians in international waters over the Gulf. In December of 2011, a U.S. surveillance drone crashed in eastern Iran. Iranians claimed to have shot it down, and created a toy model of the drone to celebrate its capture.
Little stopped short of calling the incident an act of war although the Pentagon was concerned.
Also: Obama faces world of challenges in second terms
Two U.S. officials explained the jets were part of Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps force, which has been more confrontational than regular Iranian military forces.
At least two bursts of gunfire came from the Su-25s' cannons. The drone started to move away but the Iranian aircraft chased it, doing aerial loops around it before breaking away and returning to Iran.
The Obama administration did not disclose the incident before the presidential election, but three senior officials confirmed the details to CNN on Thursday. They declined to be identified because of sensitive intelligence matters surrounding the matter.
The drone's still and video cameras captured the incident showing two Su-25s approaching the Predator and firing onboard guns.
The Iranian pilots continued to fire shots that went beneath the Predator but were never successful in hitting it, according to the officials.
U.S. military intelligence analysts are still not sure if the Iranian pilots simply were unable to hit the drone due to lack of combat skill, or whether they deliberately were missing and had no intention of bringing it down.
But as one of the officials said, "it doesn't matter, they fired on us."
Little said the United States has to assume Iran was trying to bring down the Predator.
The United States protested the incident but had not heard back from Iran.
Iran has, at other times, been confrontational in the region. In January, the U.S. military and coast guard had close encounters with Iranian Navy vessels which approached at high speeds and exhibited provocative behavior.
Michael Oren, Israel's ambassador to the United States, declined to say whether his country knew about the incident before Pentagon officials
Instead of sanctions, Just use the Biden, he is so full of him self, I am sure Iran would be covered in S--t !
Yes. Let's send VP Biden to negotiate with the Iranians. That will definitely get them disoriented and blow themselves up.
Obama can apologize for the drone during his next visit to the middle east
Obama will hand the technology over to the Iranians.
No worries guys ... The Iranians are using technology from the Chinese companies ... that bought parts from Mormon Bishop Mitten's VULTURE CAPITALIST ventures.
It may be the first time CNN reported it but CNN didn't break this story.
it actually did .. sucker
Republicans in angry mode today for some strange reason.
What Republicans?
It's time for the Rhinos to collapse their sorority and a new party arise that actually seeks to protect "The American Form of Government".
Stop blaming BUSH!!
Did Benji Netanyahooo phone his best buddy Mormon Bishop Mittens yet that the red line has been crossed?
What will you do now that Mormon MItt isn't running for President any more.
Perhaps you can turn your vial hatred and bigotry toward Harry Reid.
And perhaps you could take a moment to learn to spell "vile," genius.
Your usual idIotic post.
The sooner we get off of fossil fuels the faster we can ignore this insane Iranian regime.
Or... the sooner we develop our own abundant fossil fuel deposits instead of living in some pipe dream of green energy, the sooner we can break our international energy dependency.
Get out of their region, and it won't happen.
It was in international air space, not Iranian air space. And stop being naive. Every country needs intelligence, especially on a country that is building nuclear weapons.
Since when is it their region?
This is what happens when you have a weak, worthless leader in the white house. The n1gger must go.
Funny ... I swear this RICH OLD WHITE GUYS have lost to this BLACK COMMUNITY ORGANIZER ... TWO TIMES now!
The latest RICH OLD WHITE GUY to lose was a former VULTURE CAPITALIST CEO.
Hmm... I guess these RICH OLD WHITE GUYS much be dumber than this BLACK COMMUNITY ORGANIZER!
Thank you, Alan. Your post above just proves how very much racism in this country is both well and alive. We should have elected Ron Paul President and that's all there is to it! How dumb the general public is!
What a stupid comment! The fact that Obama has been elected twice now (and only because of WHITE PEOPLE), shows that the only racism that exists in this country is in the minds of you Leftists who think black people aren't smart or talented enough to compete against whites and Asians.
U.S. need to break away from this England empire and place emphasis on becomming a country instead of corporate U.S.A. Those that keep exposing their racial prejudice is only confirming their biggest fear, according to geneology the dominate genes will be the majority as time goes on; remember, Hitler suffered from that same sickness. Now would America like it if another country sent drones 18 miles off their coast, hell no! U.S. has enough bombs and technology that would any country, outside Isreal, attack them. The wealthy make billions off wars with no sympathy for life, and will continue doing so just as long as they fools that hate one another because of skin color and religion. I've always wondered what would the zoos be like if all the animals awaken and realized that so-called nature habitat which they exsist is only an illusion?

You are truely pathetic.
Yeah, but you don't hate him because he's black right? Love all the people claiming they hate him because he's a bad President but then call him racial names. You've sure made a point, just not the one you thought you were.
Wow! You must have a high school education because it seems like you know a lot and you have a way with word.
You had your chance to express this and democracy has shown that you are and your racist ways have been defeated.
that figures...nice..you're a smart guy–i can tell
Go burn on your lawn cross
You are a true Republican. You prove why all OB haters hate OB.
Israel needs to grow some nuts, I'm sick of the USA having to police the world.
Has Mormon Bishop Mittens done a press conference yet?
Hey, didn't you watch cnn this week? Your guy won! Don't hold your breath waiting for a press conference from Obama though. He has more importanat matters to attend to (The View, Saturday night live, etc).
.We do NOT send manned jets to guard drones. Come ON PEOPLE, drones are used to PREVENT an attack on our good people. The way you Ttards talk, YOU would rather an AMERICAN PILOT LOSE HIS LIFE, so to start a stupid war. Get with it LOSERS,.....YOUR VIEW IS NOT SHARED WITH A MAJORITY OF CITIZENS.
That Iranian jet was made by one of Mormon Bishop Mitten's Chinese companies.
Thank you Mormon Mitt for not letting the Chinese have quality technology.
Obama, on the other hand, has been giving the Chinese the real deal.
Mormon Bishop Mittens sold the Chinese Iranian companies the scrap parts from the many US companies Mittens destroyed and sold for parts! I bet those jets are using steering wheels from Delphi too! LMAO
Etch A. Sketch – So those Russian made Jets have U.S. aircraft parts? How did Russia get hold of those parts from the U.S. to build those jets? Jimmy Carter?
Su-25 is a ground attack plane, not a fighter. Plus, Predator drones have been shot down in the past by Iraqi MiG-25 fighter jets.
So what?
i do not buy this story at all, i think it was an israel drone, and iran knew it.
Perfect. Lets send the Iranians more decoys.
We should be hearing more about things like this since the President has more flexibility to be derelict.
Why is this news? They make nukes, hit them, makes sense. You go into others den, you get hit.
You apparently didn't read the article.
Firing at a drone 16 miles from your coastline is not "Iranian military aggression." That is defending your country.
Launching a drone halfway across the world is a US act of war, the definition of "military aggression."
Did you read the part that said "...international airspace..."?
I think you'd be signing a far different tune if it were an Iranian, Chinese or Russian drone 16 miles from the US coastline and a US fighter had fired upon it.
Move to mexico idiot.
How about you go first and let us know how it is?
Please re-read the article: "The drone was on routine maritime surveillance in international airspace east of Kuwait," it was unarmed, and doing maritime surveillance. That is not an attack. That area is the oil tanker shipping sea lanes.
No act of aggression by the US.
Um.....ok.....breath...in, out. in, out. Your brain obviously needs to focus on simpler things.
And since international law recognizes that anything outside of 12 miles is international waters, you come to the conclusion that this is "defending your territory" how, exactly?
I wouldn't be "singing a different tune." The Russians have planes and ships just outside US maritime borders all the time.
Wow , they didn't wait a week before they instigated a false flag event to justify attacking Iran .
Does anyone remember Haiti?
Honestly it's happening faster than I would have expected but you're dead right.
Operating an unarmed drone in international waters is a false flag event? You better look up look up the meaning of "false flag", then learn to understand the idea of proof, of which there is none.
I guess they weren't worried about our new commander-in-chief giving them a good talking to. They had better watch it, or they'll force him to give them a finger shaking they won't soon forget.
ROFLMAO! Too bad he will be the death of America and everyone here. At least all the college students will have their marijuna legalized and all the women that voted for the dolt can die with their brest implants.
Couldn't agree more Kelly51. Funny how this news hits *after* the election. If it happened before, more idiots might have been forced to vote for a man that might actually lead the country, instead of voting on the basis of which candidate knows the cast of Jersey Shore and has a cool playlist on his iPod.
@tiki64 – No kidding. I feel like I'm a cast member in the Truman Show. Life isn't real anymore, we're just living a reality series.
Breast implants? Mind enlightening us on where that came from and how it's relevant? Or is that just the only thing on your little mind?
Where you do get the idea that all Obama will do is shake his finger? He had Bin Laden killed and launches illegal drone strikes constantly. Trust me, his capacity for using deadly force over there is taken far more seriously than you apparently realize. Don't let your ignorance and slavish devotion to right wing talking points blind you to reality. Do a little research and come back and post when you know what the hell you're talking about, ok?
We're at the mercy of BHO. We're all going to die! We're going to get blown up and die!
The n1gger hates America...
Alan, you're a racist POS. Sadly, I'm sure you're somehow proud of that.
Has Obama apologized for this yet?
That'll be tomorrow.
...the election is OVER..........ya Ttard.............
We're still working on the impeachment. I hope you're happy with what's his name with the false teeth.
Our wimp in chief did not have the guts to shoot these aggressors out of the sky. We should insist under congressional oversight to know if obama hesitated or did not defend our international rights to defend ourselves.
You, the 50 percent of idiots who re-elected this moron should be ashamed at this continued wimping out by obama, the embarassment in chief
maybe you have a trillion in your pocket for another war,but the country doesn't
Obama has Trillions to spend, or at least he thinks he does, hypocrite
Yeah, lets start a war over a drone being shot at...no wonder we are going to have a WW3, people like you....
Depending on the direction and speed of the drone, Iran may not have been the aggressor. Technically.
Killing solves everything...we tried that in 1953 and Iran acquired a Shaw.
No wonder you're Outraged. You can't come up with anything more creative than that POS post?
Anybody with 50% of a brain wouldn't start a war over an unmanned drone. I mean, c'mon you knuckle dragging hick, think for once.
yea calling names on the internet makes you look cool! These drones are slow and not going to out maneuver a Suu-25. And how is this aggression by us? International waters means anyone can be there. You cannot attack someone in international water either.
"Two Iranian Su-25 fighter jets fired on an UNARMED U.S. Air Force Predator drone in the Persian Gulf"
Thank you, Phunnie boy. Spoken like a true warmongering, hateful, weak minded Tea Partier! The only aggressors here are our cursed drones which appear to be everywhere like a very bad dream!!! Then again, if the Iranians did succeed in shooting down this cursed aircraft, the right-wing thugs in Washington will have yet another excuse to start another obnoxious war over there!!!
Hi George, you sound like a mean little lefty yourself with an axe to grind.
Take your meds and chill you sore looser. how about we get out of the 10 plus year war we are in before cranking up another.
I hope you're not able to breed.
how do you tea party republicans plan to pay for another war ? the USA capital one credit card got maxed out in Iraq.
The same wimp that sent in navy seals into a foreign country without their knowledge to kill Bin Laden, and the same wimp that increased the use of drone strikes to kill Taliban targets inside Pakistan. The administration refusal to retaliate prevented another war in the Gulf. You are an idiot.
LOL I Love It How U Guys Blame Everthing On Obama. Face It!!! He's Your Presidents.. LOL Move To Canada We're Not Gonna Miss You. This Is Our Country Now.
No! Canada does not welcome the extremist views of some of these republicans. . . you guys need to take care of these idiots.
fishman – don't like your new president ... move.
Yup Let's start another war.
May be it is because of war-hungry aggressive idiots such as yourself 50% of Americans didn't vote for Republican party.
An unarmed drone flying in international airspace isn't worth going to war over even if shot down. You armchair Republican warriors just can't get enough can you. I've seen enough suffering due to Bush and his personal wars.
Sorry! Take heart..but wait! You are calling all your household moron! No respect for your parents...Get over it! Re-elected President is there for 4 more years. Time to change direction and support him to help you out, or relocate to another planet or country. And stop crying baby bitterly outraged.
Killing the Iranian pilots is a disproportionate response and an escalation. And using pejoratives to describe POTUS is adolescent. Respect the office if not the holder of the office.
Just like my 8 year old, cant concentrate He lied. It does not matter what people say about him when acts. He should be above it. He is the boss.
Ahhh yes, the elections are over! Now we can feed the war machine! Mass propaganda as we beat the war drums!
This was always on the schedule to take out Iran – wake up ragtop 😉
No crap bobby! Just so convenient that they wait till after the election to disclose it. No matter who won the election it would be the same delayed reaction With no need to campaign and to win the election, they can move forward with no delays!
I would be upset if I was Aqmed Dinnerjacket. "My fighters can even bring down a piston engine, unmanned plane"
This is stupid! OF COURSE Iranian jets fired on the drone!
So........if there were Iranian drones flying over Washington, NORAD wouldn't shoot them down?
International waters DUMB-DUNB 😉
Did you read the part that said "...international airspace..."?
Ah, but where was it coming from? Did it just come Iranian airspace?
Did it just come from Iranian aispace?
Well, Number 1 no matter how tight you wind the rubber band, Thier drones won't make it to the United States!!! So we don't have to worry about shooting them down!!!
International waters for sure, but then for what? It is like, I throw the stone and break the glass, and say, the stone broke the glass.
i think your the stupid one sonny!! did you even read the article??? guess not, cause the drone was said to be in international airspace, not in iranian airspace!!!yes if they were over washington shoot um down(as if ever that will happen!!) but being in internatiotnal airspace and they shoot at you then ,well, what part of that dont you understand??
Well, Number 1 no matter how tight you wind the rubber band, Thier drones won't make it to the United States!!! So we don't have to worry about shooting them down!!! They will never cut the mustard in a battlefield situation!!
Read "unarmed maritime surveillance drone".
Move along, troll.
Arm The next Raptor and let it fight back!! Lets see how good there pilots are!!!!! Me thinks there will be two planes down off the Iranian coast !!!
No need to think about it...It would be a given...But Alas, Obama and Gates stop production of the greatest weapons platform EVER..So must baby what we have I am guessing...BUT have you checked out China's "F-22" wonder how many they are going to build??
A Raptor is not a fighter and can't be flown like one. So even if it was armed, it would still get shot down.
Sorry, I meant Predator not Raptor.
Hey CNN, we don't need another war!
Of course the Iranians fired on the drone. They knew it couldn't fire back. It's the only way they can win an engagement in the air.
And they couldn't even hit the drone.
The Su-25 is about as much of a fighter jet as an A-10 Warthog is. Way to research, CNN.
It 's getting very close now for the USA to kick Iranian booty.Yes the election is now over and finally time to erase those evil pests - God Is Great 😉
Please sign up, I'd love to see YOU on the front lines.
Convenient timing.
..and the US would not fire on an Iranian drone if the roles were reverse?
Hypocrites, imbeciles, and arrogant swine dominate these boards.
At least we would hit it.
12 miles is 12 miles, Sunshine.
You are the swine on this board Tony (AJA Ragtop)
Actually, the swine are the Warpigs.
Many countries observe more than 12 miles. If an Iranian plane or drone was 13 miles off Maryland or LA or New York it would be shot down very quickly. We've been through this millions
What hell are they doing off the coast of Iran with a drone half a world away?
IN.TER.NA.TION.AL AIRSPACE....So What...Life Continues (Obama Adm.)
Did you read the part that said ... on routine maritime surveillance ...?
Protecting a major shipping lane that boarders other countries in international waters??? I am tired of tools that rape underage women and think that they are tough. I hope the Chinese teach Iran a lesson!
Congratulations Scotty, you posted the dumbest comment on this forum today. Come collect your prize.
Spying on Iran it is funny how we say it was in international waters like it was just passing by and not sneaking in and out of their airspace spying on them .
This was almost an act of war...however when we flew our drone into Iranian airspace and they shot it down....it wasn't an act of war and we had every right to ask for our drone back : D
Funny how shooting down a lifeless, soulless vehicle would be an act of war... Anything to make war, I guess...
Yes, Go Iran.
Yes, I ran. PLEASE GO.
Its very telling that the Iranians couldn't shoot down an unarmed, unmanned drone. I wonder if those pilots are on bathroom cleanup duty tonight.
Also, I laughed out loud when the US response was that their drone wasn't in Iranian airspace. What else could it have been doing in the area?
No, Thats where they get thier pilots, If They can hit the commode, They make them a fighter pilot!!!
No one said they COULDN'T. The article says they DIDN'T. funny how you people read the news...
Our great leader will just Blame Bush. Pathetic.
Boo Hoo! Another sore loser with a big mouth and a small brain.
Well mylife55 the big mouth and the small brain are the losers who re-elected Obama for a second term knowing that he is ruining this countries freedoms. Well rothrules, Obama already lied to American people over the Libya mess.
Another moron who figured out how to use the internet, oh joy
Yeah... Bush would of started another war over it and lie to the American public by saying he was defending US soil!
let us keep misleading the nation.
Finally!! Now the oil investors will have a reason to run up the price. Bend over America, the investors are coming and they are goind to do us all up the butt!! Oil will jump $10 tomorrow.
No worries. We got Obamas Energy Plan. SOLYNDRA
Really Or its just a paid news by Zionazis ?
Yes, it was Zionazi's. Jeez. What a dweeb.
At the top of the page it says this article was posted at 2pm EST, so if CNN is not lying then they did indeed air it before fox.
Big Deal!
This reminds me of a news piece I did for CNN back in 1990. It was basically some fake propaganda garbage like most CNN pieces, but unfortunately we were on a live satellite feed to anyone with a C-band dish. Oops. If you want to watch the clip of me making some fake CNN 'news' go to YouTube and search for 'Charles Jaco', it's a real eye opener.
*Note I am not actually Charles Jaco but it's funnier this way.
Obama is a spineless coward. He won't do anything. We're screwed, America.
Fortunately, not quite as screwed as you are...
You mean, besides ordering the assassination of Osama Bin Laden in foreign territory?
You mean the Bin Laden that had already been dead for ten years?
Turn yourself clockwise... in other words go screw yourself.
Let's see, Obama lied and the press let him. What else is new? Pass the beer nuts.
First, I have a simple question. Why in the HELL was the drone unarmed? And why is our military sitting on info for political conveinence? Never fear folks, Mr. Putin will make BHO his Slave, before this is over!
Iran hacked 1 drone already, do you really think it would be wise to send up armed ones over the most vital water way in the developed world?
If it was armed, do you think shooting down an Iranian aircraft would have been an appropriate, and well thought out response?
There is help for you condition... I suggest you seek some.
This line said it all...
"The United States protested the incident but had not heard back from Iran."
Not only are viewed as weak – we are irrelevant.
Obama is working on an apology.
Your severe lack of sense is worrisome.
Yeah, let's see how crow tastes, when on their next encounter the drone blows the two jets into oblivion.
Obama is probably working up an aid package for Iran now to pay for the expenditure of ammunition and therapy for the pilots who missed.
What should have happened is they fired on us, we send up a flight of fighters who splashed them, end of story. No escalation, but they fired first.
You guys are idiots, if a war starts, Iran can close the gulf, at least temporarily. How do you think that will affect the world economy, being that most of the worlds oil travels through there. Typical armchair grunts, no brains, all talk.
All the more reason to treat them fairly and with justice. I'd hate for America to have to stop exporting oil (which we do)
got a trillion in your pocket to pay for another war?
No obama took it to force me into buying health insurance that i cant afford and i think we sent the rest egypt and israel.
Considering we helped over throw their democratically elected government in the 1950's, Helped Saddam Hussein in his war of aggression against them, have enacted crippling economic sanctions against them, have been illegally overflying their country for years with our spy planes, helped create electronic attacks on them,and have given tacit approval for Israels assassination squads to go after their politicians and scientists ...can you really blame them for being just a little bit hostile and paranoid when we get to close to their shores?
Iran is doing everything possible to divert its attention somewere else for better progress on its nuclear goals. they are at that red line and expect them to do more so Obama administration will blink for just a moment and then its on with the nuclear test fire at Isreal. And then what wait a few days condemn them and do an investigation, like in Bengazi like a whole list of other attacks on US interest and service members. No Country is gonna listen to talk or sanctions. REMEMBER PAIN EQUALS COMPLIANCE WORKS EVERY TIME. Lets get in get done get out regroup and assist from abroad, no occupation just force cooperation for humanity
BS. Iran allows inspections of its nuclear sites in compliance with the nuclear non proliferation treaty. They are not looking to build a nuclear bomb.
*sniff* *cough* heh that was a good one. You really had me there for a while *snorkle*
Sarcasm noted, I hope.
If Iran is smart enough to build a nuclear bomb, they're smart enough to know that shooting it at Israel is a sure-fire way to turn Tehran into a glass parking lot.
Just like the US-USSR arms race, having nukes will greatly increase Iran's position in the middle east, and of course they would never actually use it. But unlike US of the 1950's, Israel has the firepower to put a stop to it.
Repubturds will start a war in a blink of a eye even if they have to use lies to do it. GWB invading Iraq was a prime example. Repubturds are war mongers and domestic terrorist. Party of scare tactics.
I doubt everything we are reporting.
I'm sure they were in Iranian air space.
Buncha dang liars.
Just because it has turned out that way 99 out of the last 99 times doesn't make it a lie this time. At least not to the warmongers who are still in denial of the last 99 lies.
I wouldn't doubt this whole story is a complete fabrication.
So, we are monitoring Iranian's reaction with provocative actions and want to find out how quick they can respond. Now we have collected that data and we can modify our next action. These sorts of careless and short sighted maneuvers will have greater consequences than most people can comprehend. This is not a Xbox game, people will die.
What are we doing off the coast of Iran with a drone half a world away is very clear. No one other than American population who needs more entertainment continuously would like to see some sort of hostility to break between Iran and US, as if it is a new game or a Movie to watch every night. There should be a total condemnation of our provocation against Iran. We have threatened the Iranians continuously and we have disregarded their legitimate rights. We have backed the Zionists and threaten the Iranians with bombing and other means including economic warfare. So, if Iran plans to defend herself don't be surprised your sons and daughter who are pawns in this scenario to get hurt.
Get real.
You do realize that we are about to go to war with Iran over their nuclear program? Obama promised as much as he said he would not tolerate them having nukes and Iran has made it clear it will obtain them. Our military is in the region and the presence will only get larger.
BS. Iran has consistently, from the mullahs down, denied it is seeking a nuclear bomb. Had it wanted one, it could have gotten one from the ex soviet blocs.
That is the point. We have no ground to stand on. IAEA inspectors have been in Iran and are still in Iran. The Iranians have signed the NPT long time ago. No smoking guns have ever been found. So, you are saying we can just go and bomb them??! What does International law and UN has to say about that? Pakistan has 100 of nuclear bomb missiles, Jews have twice as much, India has just as much and North Korea is still there. You think if Iran wanted to have a bomb yesterday they could not have come up with one as poor Pakistan did?
Get real.
So they are making bomb grade plutonium just because?
To David Driscoll,
Who says they are?! That is exactly the propaganda that is fed to the American Audience. IAEA has inspected Iranian nuclear program for over 25 years, the longest in that agency's history and NO smoking GUN has ever been found. The highest the Iranians enriched Uranium is 20% which is used in Teheran's Medical Isotope facility. They asked France to supply the Isotope rods but we stopped them from delivering it.
Get real.
You believe all what the gov't. tells you?
@ muse1876
The question is DO YOU?!
Pull your heads out of the sand and concentrate. This is now. The point still is we are constantly mislead and lied to for political gain. What is scary is that the media is silent with Obama. Do you not understand how dangerous this is? What happens when your man or anyone else has this power? Please think about this rationally people. It is not a partisan problem. I do not hate Obama, but I also do not let my kids do anything they want just because I love them.
I couldnt agee with you more...just like the 20 or so companies that have issued lay off notices within 48 hours of the election....all to protect who...OBAMA!
As far as I'm aware, our govt. has no obligation to release frivolous information. When/If the govt. fails to release information that could directly negatively affect you personally, then you can get upset. Not being told that another country fired on and missed an aircraft that if brought down would have resulted in no loss of life, is none of your concern.
So let me see, President Obama was informed about this last week before the election but kept it from the American People?
he is a dem. what do you expect. if he would of told the public before the election that might have hurt the chance of re-election. But he is very cool and down to earth leader touches the heart of the american people. we are being bulldogged in the biggest way from russia china and middle east we are a weak nation right now and the world knows it
I wouldn't believe anything from the news media these days. The international jewish organizations are all they are.
Last time CNN proudly reported a News about how bravely Israelis destroyed a unarmed foreign drone, Why does CNN has different standards, they are totally in the pockets of Zionazis and report whatever they can to help Zionazis in Israel and America.
Are they sure it was not a mob angry over a video?
Obama is a man of peace and won the Nobel Peace Prize. HE AIN'T GONNA DO A D*MNED THING ABOUT IT!
Would our response to Iranian drones in the Gulf of Mexico be any different?
Yes we would not fire upon it because it was in International waters...Just like when the Russians had their Sub in the gulf Just two months ago
Cdogg you might be speaking German right now if we let people like you run things. If you don't want to live here in a Superpower country then move. Or the next regime will enslave you.
Yes, it most certainly would be. International airspace is free for any nation to use. The fact that you would even ask just highlights how clueless you are as to the laws that govern interactions between nations.
Suprises that haven't fired on us before,since they have no fear whatsoever of our DEAR LEADER in the White House.
Gotta love the TeaBillies:
"The entire Media is againest us ... one big commie plot by Rupport Murdoch and General Dynamics, which own 75% of US media". Gotta watch those military defense firms and right wing Austrailians, they are really secret liberals.
"Obama isn't from here – he is an alien from outer space. Squak squak. Wheres his birth certificate"
"Rape is ok, God approves"
"The drone was really just on a peace keeping mission in Intl waters. And the one 2 weeks ago that Iran shot down in the middle of its country was really a fake – the Iranians were lying also".
"47% of Americans are losers, and they'll lie and cheat also. All of them"
"Lance Armstrong didn't do it – one big conspiracy by 25 unrelated atheletes, about 100 scientists. Even the drug testing firms were being paid off".
"God created earth 9000 years ago. All of those dinosauer bones are fakes, since there NEVER were dinosaurs."
Yep, life is one big conspiracy ... everyone is out to get us poor TeaBillies.
Better than AL GORE who invented the Internet.
Sly, are you having problem with that one brain cell of yours? Try three in one oil, I hear that will reduce friction.
Sly, I think the wheels are coming off your bus.
"Two Iranian Su-25 fighter jets fired on an unarmed U.S. Air Force Predator drone in the Persian Gulf last week, CNN has learned."
When did CNN first "learn" of it? And why did it take a week to make it public?
Nice the president decided not to disclose, where is our open transparent government?
What if an Iranian drone was flying around Pittsburgh? Or Atlanta? or Langley? How would we know if it's unarmed or not?
How long would it last? How come the jet planes couldn't catch up" to this propeller driven drone? There is something fishy about this story. Blaming Obama for not responding when someone shoots at a spy plane is pretty idiotic.
lol how dare iran defend it's sovereignty from a foreign spy drone! can you imagine the response if iranian warcraft were over NYC?
Did you read the story? The incident took place more than 12 NM from the Iranian coast. That's international airspace over international waters. Please try to be at least moderately informed before you post.
I find it very sad that so few people are concerned that the government withheld this information until the elections were over. How much else are they hiding? We know they are still looking for a fall guy for Libya
Yeah... we want to know about the aliens they got stashed at Area-51 🙂 What they're in Gitmo...OK... nevermind! 🙂
Iran's best jet fighter pilots shoot at a slow moving drone and can't hit it? The only thing worse is if the drone returned fire and took them both out with only two shots.
Obviously, they had no intention of shooting it down. They acted to prevent it entering Iranian airspace, and apparently they succeeded in that.
Remember the last debate? Mitt does not even know Iran has a coast. Don't expect any president to tell us every military incident as soon as it happens. That's his and the military's job to handle it, not ours. Just thank your lucky stars we have a president that at least knows where Iran is.
Too bad the President didn't know Pennsylvania is not in the midwest. Oh yeah, didn't catch that one during the last debate did ya?
false flags and false reports
I find it sad that very few posters are concerned that this information was withheld till the election was over.
Hey, as long as they get their government check on the 1st, it's all the same to them
Who cares?? What difference would it make? None whatsoever. If President Obama would have allowed it to be releasedhe would gave been blamed for trying to instill fear in the American public as bush did during his election. I don't think it should have been released at all. Its a SECRET surveillance mission. & I dont believe most civilians have that security clearance
Iran has jets?
We have some very stupid psychos in our government if they actually believe a military strike on another country is justified because they shot at one of our spy drones. If one human being is lost in a retaliatory military strike I would vote to convict whoever gave the damn order guilty of crimes against humanity.
This was TOTALLY expected...Romney looses the election... dual Israeli agent and Romney Supporter Mel Sembler and Sheldon Adelson loose their opportunity to launch Gulf War III...and CNN (pretending to be a news organization) immediately begins broadcasting propaganda on behalf of Israel. Look at it this way...if Iran attempted to fly a drone armed or otherwise over any Western power...we would definitely shoot it down... so why are you having a problem with this? If Iran was Florida, they could cite the "stand your ground" law....if you don't want to get shot at..then don't fly your spy aircraft within gun range...even the Rednecks in Alabama have been know to shoot at U.S. military helicopters who like to buzz their cattle for sport...CNN please evolve or get out of the news business and join up with Fox Noise propaganda channel...
Do you know the difference in meaning between loose and lose?
Wow, before posting here please do some research. What part of "international airspace" do you not understand? The drone was in the Persian Gulf. Iran does not own the Persian Gulf and was closer to our ally Kuwait, not Iran. We have every right to fly aircraft in that region to observe shipping lanes, which is exactly what we were doing.
Iran's best fighter pilots shoot at a slow moving drone and can't hit it? It's a good thing the drone wasn't shooting back.
whites vent. Its oK cause u lost. LOL – Pres Obama is the man. suckas.
Martin Luther King will slap your face if he was alive. Obama is black but blacks only stand with the truth. A true black will accept if Obama was wrong. Who the sucka taught you this ignorance?
Dont make it racial saliera, Whites voted for Obama also, I dif
I wish it had been racial because if 93% of whites had voted for Romney like 93% blacks voted for Ob we would have a new president. Talk about what race is racial. I think it is clear.
America lost, I feel sorry for your lack of intelligence.
I voted for Obama and I'm a white male....
Most of you are missing the point. Once again incredible information was hidden by Obama and the media.Yes we have been attacked before but never before has there been a willfully intent to mislead an entire country. All this for politically calculated gain. And no one questions it. I don't want to live like Russians or Chinese.
I can't believe you said that. "Never before has there been a willful attempt to mislead and entire country"
Dude, it has happened prior to almost every war we have ever been involved in. Don't you remember even as far back as Iraq?
I am offering every Democrat a Tin Foil hat with Obama TV antenna with in built headphone and a pair of 'Blame George Bush' wrist bands. The PRO version of the Tin Foil hat has an electric shock sensor which will remove all the truth by transmitting electric signals into the brain and kicking the truth away from your brain. The pro version costs 5$ because we have taxed a carbon tax on it because it uses electricity. We expect you to live in caves and be environment friendly.
Since its Christmas, we are offering our warm 'WINTER FESTIVAL GREETING' card with a $1000 dollar stimulus money from our printers in the Federal Reserve to you as well. If we say "MERRY CHRISTMAS", it will offend the muslims. The President sends his apologies and we are working on an upgraded version of electric sensors that will stimulate your brains to be a muslim.
I wonder how many of the comments here are the product of the US military's social media project designed to spread pro-American propaganda? Would be interesting if they released exactly the number of military service personnel and number of fake online accounts they have operating on the major news sites.
(Link to an older article about this sort of "sock-puppetry)
You're a nut job. Forgot to take your medicine today?
Thanks god we have a president with a brain and who is not quick to the draw with other peoples son's.
Presdent Obama is da man,,, Whites u lost. LOL suckas
Yeah more free health care, cash, cell phones, etc..... for the people who refuse to try and better themselves. Just be lazy ass like you always have been and the whites will take care of you.
A typical democratic racists.
Youre DUMB beyond belief. Blacks voted for Obama cuz hes black, not cuz he has good policies or even a good record. If Hitler was black yall would vote for him too. Obama thinks hes helping but in reality hes making life for minorities sooo much worse. Minority unemployment is the highest its been in over 30 yrs under Obama. But you dont care cuz ure dumb. You think youre exacting justice by electing a half black president, but the sad thing is youre hurting ureselves and everyone else even more. By the way, before you start taking jabs at white people, just remember that whites, specifically Western Europeans, developed the modern society you feed off of. White people invented and discovered the overwhelming majority of technologies and social structures you cherish, i.e. modern medicine, rule of law, cars, planes, trains, computers, power stations, etc.. Pretty much everything you couldnt live without. Black ppl always complain about being held back and that because of colonialism they werent able to advance as a society. Black ppl had atleast a 3000 yr head start with civilization and yet by the 20th century youre still running around in loin clothes toting spears and living in filth. Be more appreciative for what has been granted to you: a civilized, modern life.
Yeah we lost the election, but I am still rich and you are just left with your homies and purple drank.
Republican refusal to work across the aisle is what brought Rome down.
I'm sure we have already crossed our Rubicon.
No it wasn't. Rome fell because they could not afford to keep giving non-producing citizens free food and entertainment. Sound familiar?
"it doesn't matter, they fired on us."
Someone, anyone, please slap this 'official.'
You can be sure of one thing... If Mitt Romney was elected, we'd be at War with Iran "on day 1" .... nothing fires up the GOP more than sending us out to fight a war in the middle East..... last 2 Republican Presidents, 3 Middle Eastern Wars... last 2 Democrats, uh... nothin... some peacekeeping missions to stop genocide, that's about it.
Two things are certain had Mitt been elected:
1) The market would be soaring, not tanking as it is under Obama.
2) Obama care would be repealed...
4 more years of econominc misery....Thanks Obama!!
I thought you Repubs learned your lesson the other night, American's are smarter than you thought... Just because Wall Street isn't getting the regulations they want repealed so they can create another bubble doesn't mean the economy is hurting, I would figure you GOPer's would know by now, the Market's daily back and forth doesn't change anything... It's only when creeps like your last President tank the entire economy that it matters. Oh and by the way, Since JFK was inagurated, 46 million jobs have been created under Democrat Administrations in that same time period, Republican Administrations have netted only 28 million jobs... So don't give me that crap about Repubs knowing the economy, they literally aren't half as good as Dems at creating jobs.
No way that would happen. But the information was hidden from the American public until after the election. Get used to this. Big Brother will just tell you what He feels you should be told.
Sorrt, wasn't first on CNN, unless you mean "the first time we are running it"... knew abuot this hours before you published thanks to FOX
"The Obama administration did not disclose the incident, which occurred just days before the presidential election on November 1, but three senior officials confirmed the details to CNN." NOW THERE'S A SHOCKER, IT DIDN'T COME OUT UNTIL AFTER THE ELECTION.
First Obama is criticized because too many leaks are coming out during his administration, now he is criticized because the leaks are too few and too slow. Again, the guy cannot win.
But he did win!
I'm we didn't have a right wing nut case like you in office or we'd be going to war over an unmanned surveillance drone. We can't afford your kind of stupidity.
It is Bush's fault.
4400 dead americans in iraq, destoyed a country, destablized a region, increased irans sphere of influence, thanks bush
Touche'. God help us. F-ing O didn't respond?
Iran is not like Iraq or Afghanistan. It just like playing with the fire!
And rather than end it as promised, Obama continued it.
It's not easy to believe that the drone was out there simply on a picnic and what would Americans expect US government to do if an Iranian drone was 16 miles off NY coast? Secondly, what the Iranian government did is more or less a regime act of propaganda to pacify their hard liners if they want to have negotiations on the nuclear issue to lift the sanctions which have brought down the economy otherwise I think they could have brought it down easily.
And Iran missed. LOL perhaps tehy should of sent a flying boat up to take a look at it. How pathetic iran really is.
Su-25's are not "fighters", they are ground attack aircraft.
it has rails attached for vympel r-60 air to air missiles
Probably a false flag attack by the CIA......
OBAMA = HUGO CHAVEZ = They both control and manipulate the media all the time and brain wash the people.
We as americans purchase more oil from hugo than the middle east.
It is because Oil is rare in this world. There is no other country with oil near us than Venezuela. If you want, you can walk to work or buy a horse.
When the U.S. attacks Iran (or assists in attacks) it is merely called pre-emptive security or some other random, retarded response. When Iran attacks the U.S. it's called an act of war. Love the double standard.
THE US has never attacked IRAN. Get your facts right.
I think it's about time
Ya except for that missile strike on that civilian airliner in the 80's. Your an idiot chris and you can hope all day but its human nature to kill eachother its what we do.
Our CIA overthrew thier democratically elected government in 1953. We armed Iraq to fight them.
Iran couldn't evern beat Iraq in their war.....do you think wea re concerned about Iran?......Obviously none of you have been in the military, because you would be surprised as to the things that are not reported to the public.......All you need do ge a life.
Ha Ha HA ha
Obama's weakness is the cause of this attack...there are probably more we do not know about.
Any strong President would have responded in an hour.
Like GWB? hahahah, funny stuff!
You're right about that. He heard about it long before us. However, he wouldn't respond too quickly unless he knew for sure the pilot of the fighter wasn't one of his distant relatives. Barack Hussein Obama.
any other president would have made an aggressive response.as far as i am concerned obama is a coward..if he keeps increasing handouts someone is gonna hand him walkin papers sooner than later
Come on people. The U.S. spends more money on military and intelligence than the entire rest of the world put together. Iran is in the stone age militarily compared to the U.S. I think that drone was somewhere it shouldnt have been before the Iranian jets were told to go after it. It wouldnt surprise me if the drone was armed when it took off. all speculation though. Remember Iran hasnt invaded anyone in over 50+ years but the U.S. seems to wanna invade everyone.
Yes, You are right...AMERICA IS ALWAYS THE GUILTY PARTY
What is a choom wagon???
Hey Chris, if you don't like how his country handles security and military affairs, you are more than welcome to move to Iran. I am sure they won't have any problems with you publicly voicing your concerns over how how they handle things
Obama owns the media.
If the jets were outside their own borders that America had been hit by a missile

This semester I'm taking 'Distributed Learning Librarianship' online at the University of North Texas. Needless to say online learning is on my mind. In August of last year Rose L. Chou contributed a great HLS post In Defense of Online LIS Education, and Laura Sanders' recent post on Teaching Methods Used in Library School generated some good discussion that included comments about online coursework. I'd like to build on some of the ideas presented in these post and in my class. I feel like every other day I have a conversation with someone about online courses that includes a statement like, "How does that even work?" or "I can't imagine what a class would be like online." This weekend it dawned on me–maybe you can't imagine what an online class is like until you take one. Sometimes I feel like I'm describing driving to someone who hasn't ridden in a car.
There is a growing population of online students in the United States. According to the 2010 Sloan Survey of Online Learning online enrollment experienced an average annual growth rate of 20% from 2002 to 2009. From fall 2008 to fall 2009 there was an online enrollment increase of nearly one million students for a total of 5.6 million students. Many areas of librarianship are affected by these online learners. As one would expect, online students turn to their University libraries for support–but they also use their local public libraries for school-related needs. Additionally, school librarians may be called on by K-12 students taking online classes. As more people choose to learn online, do we need more librarians who know how to serve them? There are many different ways to approach needs assessment—in the case of online learners I'm beginning to think needs assessment should come, in part, from firsthand experience.
I understand that online learning isn't a great fit for every library school student and many people still resist the idea of online courses and degrees. 5.6 million online learners are proceeding anyway. How are we going to educate ourselves to meet their information needs?
I want to know what you think. Do we need to do more to anticipate the needs of online learners in our coursework? How does your school's curriculum address online learning? Should library school students be taking more online courses? Let's discuss.

I don't want small talk. It gives me anxiety.
Tell me about the time you slow danced to the beat of the wind howling in your ears. Tell me about the book you read that made you want to rip your heart out just so you could stop feeling so much. Tell me about how the summer brings back certain memories that leave you feeling cold to the bone, and how in winter, you wrap yourself with a blanket made of those very same memories.
Tell me about how, sometimes, when you stand on top of a tall building, you imagine what it would be like to fly. Tell me about how you make such beautiful poetry out of the darkness you have inside you.
Tell me about how you gave all the money you had in your wallet to the little girl begging on the road because she reminded you of your dead sister. And tell me about how you just sat down crying on the road after seeing a smile light up her whole face and how your friend had to drag you back home.
Tell me about all the dreams you keep hidden in the crevices of your soul. Tell me about what makes you.. You. I don't want small talk.

Sources: LeBron James tells Kevin Love he wants him in Cleveland
LeBron James has reached out to Minnesota Timberwolves All-Star forward Kevin Love and expressed a desire for them to play together in Cleveland, front-office sources told Yahoo Sports.
Love is enthusiastic about the idea of teaming with James on the Cleveland Cavaliers, sources said. James' decision to sign only a two-year contract that affords him the option of again becoming a free agent at the end of next season has not tempered Love's interest in joining James on the roster.
The Cavs and Timberwolves have had ongoing talks about a trade for Love, but a deal is not imminent, said one high-ranking source involved in the discussions.
The Cavaliers have shown a willingness to possibly include No. 1 pick Andrew Wiggins in a package for Love, but would likely need additional teams to complete a deal, sources said. Wiggins played for Cleveland's summer-league team Thursday night in Las Vegas.
The Timberwolves also have spoken to the Golden State Warriors about Love, but the Warriors have so far been reluctant to include guard Klay Thompson in a trade.
Love's representatives have informed Timberwolves management he will opt out of his contract after next season and leave the franchise in free agency if he is not traded.
James announced last week he was leaving the Miami Heat after four consecutive trips to the NBA Finals to return to the Cavaliers. He cautioned that the Cavs – who have not made the playoffs since James left in 2010 – would need time to grow into a championship contender, but the addition of Love could greatly accelerate that process.
Cleveland also signed All-Star point guard Kyrie Irving to a five-year, $90 million extension this month.

Digitized in all ebook formats, including ePub, Kindle, and ePDF on a CD-ROM.
Searchable back and forth with your own digital Bible
More than doubles the 2,000 definitions.
For example, a search for the word 'highminded', defines it as 1.) 'heady' 2 Tim 3:4), 2.) 'pride' Job 41:34, and 3.) 'conceits' Rom 12:16. Although those three words do not have direct entries in this dictionary, each is automatically defined by the other two, as well as by the main entry 'highminded.'
Confirms definitions. For example, by searching for the definition of 'expectation' its main entry defines it as 'hope' in Phil. 1:20. In addition, 'expectation' is found to be a definition of 'hope' in Prov. 11:7 in its main entry. There you will also see that 'expectation' is further defined as 'with patience wait' in Rom. 8:23, 24, 2). The possibilities and definitions are multiplied and confirmed.

BOSTON >> Moments after investigators went before television cameras to broadcast photos of the two men in ball caps wanted for the Boston Marathon bombing, queries from viewers started cascading in — 300,000 hits a minute that overwhelmed the FBI's website.
It marked a key turning point in a search that, for all the intensity of its first 72 hours, had failed to locate the suspects. While it's unclear how much the tips that resulted helped investigators zero in, experts say it instantly turned up already intense pressure on the two men to flee or almost certainly be recognized — increasing the chances they'd make mistakes that would lead to them being exposed.
The decision to ask the public for help also was something of a gamble, one that investigators had to weigh carefully.
"It was a good decision to put this out to the public….and this would have been a calculated risk. But the intent would have been to get these guys to change their pattern" of behavior, said Martin Reardon, who spent 21 years as an FBI agent and is now a vice president of security consultant The Soufan Group.
Releasing the photos greatly increased the odds the two men would be recognized and turned in, even as it significantly upped the chances they would try to vanish or commit more mayhem — exactly the scenario that has played out.
"Clearly these guys were reacting and responding exactly as (law enforcement) predicted," said Robert Taylor, a criminologist at the University of Texas at Dallas who studies terrorism. "If you saw your face on TV and everywhere else as associated with the bombing … you would act irrationally and that's exactly what they did."
After three days without being able to identify a suspect by name, investigators clearly made the decision to release the photos Thursday on the belief that, without doing so, the suspects might remain at-large for weeks or months, with the chance to flee or to act again, said David Weinstein, a former federal prosecutor in Miami.
So with photos in hand, investigators made a choice deemed both necessary and prudent.
"And then the worst possible thing happens," Weinstein said. "They do actually begin their flight and then start to wreak vengeance on the whole city of Boston."
Weinstein, Reardon and other experts had differing opinions on whether investigators' decision to release the photos was worth the cost exacted by the two men: the killing of a Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer, a carjacking, the shooting of another transit police officer and a block-by-block manhunt that led officials to shut Boston and many of its surrounding suburbs.
But all agreed the photo release was pivotal in breaking open the case, because it instantly deprived suspected bombers Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, and his 19-year-old brother, Dzhokhar, of time, anonymity and options.
By late Friday, many of the details in the chain of events that led to the older brother's death and a massive hunt for the younger one were still unclear, but the pursuit had consumed the region with apprehension, tempered by hope that it might be nearing an end.
It began just after 5 p.m. Thursday, when investigators released the photographs and video of two unidentified suspects and asked for the public's help. Just over five hours later, shots were heard on the campus of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, across the Charles River from Boston in Cambridge. Ten minutes later, an MIT campus police officer who was responding was found shot multiple times in his vehicle and was later pronounced dead.
Soon after, two armed men carjacked a Mercedes SUV in Cambridge, holding the driver for about half an hour before releasing him unharmed. Police pursued and the men inside the vehicle threw explosive devices from the windows, while exchanging gunfire. A Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority officer was wounded in a firefight with the suspects and the older brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, was critically injured and pronounced dead.
The hunt then continued for the younger brother, who fled on foot.
In the pre-dawn hours Friday, dozens of police officer and FBI agents converged on Watertown, Mass. after gunshots and explosions were heard, ordering people to stay inside. But the search proved fruitless, leading authorities to shut down Boston's mass transit system and urge residents of several cities and towns to stay indoors.
State Police spokesman Dave Procopio said police realized they were dealing with the bombing suspects based on what the two men told the carjacking victim during their getaway attempt.
"We believe this man to be a terrorist," Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis said, of the brother who remained a fugitive late Friday. "We believe this to be a man who's come here to kill people."
The chaos of the pursuit contrasted sharply with the sweeping, methodical investigation that began almost immediately after the Monday afternoon bombing that killed three and wounded more than 180, marked by officials' notable reluctance to disclose information. In the hours and days immediately after the bombing, dozens of investigators in white hooded suits carefully combed, cataloged and photographed evidence at the scene, even canvassing the roofs of nearby buildings to search for items blown into the air by the bomb's force.
Investigators gathered hours of videotape footage from security cameras that scanned the area around the bombing and appealed to the public to turn in their own video and photos, for help in determining the sequence of events and identifying a suspect.
The investigation will probably collect about a million hours of videotape from fixed security cameras and spectators' cellphones and cameras, said Gene Grindstaff, a scientist at Intergraph Corp., a company that makes video analysis software used by the FBI and other law enforcement agencies.
Investigators used software to search for certain types of objects or people matching a height and weight description. The software can also spot patterns that human analysts might not notice, such as a car that turns up in different places, he said.
"Back in the days of 20 years ago, you were lucky if you had video and it was probably of poor quality and it took a tremendous amount of enhancement. Today you have a completely different issue," Grindstaff said.
"Here's the first thing that the computer was told: Tell me if you can find the same people at both of those (bombing) locations," said Taylor, the criminologist.
Additional parameters would further narrow the search to, for example, look for people carrying backpacks.
"It's kind of like going through a series of strainers and filters," Taylor said.
But with the video winnowed down, the process required examination frame-by-frame, a laborious process done by an FBI unit called the Operational Technologies Division, said Joe DiZinno, former director of the FBI lab in Virginia.
By Thursday, once facial recognition software and agents had narrowed the search to images of two young men, investigators had to make a decision about how to proceed.
Meanwhile, the Tsarnaev brothers were already on edge.
At an auto body shop near their home, the younger brother, Dzhokhar, had often stopped to talk with owner Gilberto Junior about cars and soccer. But on Tuesday, the day after the bombing, the normally relaxed young man showed up biting his nails and trembling, Junior said.
The mechanic told Tsarnaev he hadn't had a chance to work on a Mercedes he'd dropped off for bumper work.
"I don't care. I don't care. I need the car right now," Junior says Dzhokhar Tsarnaev told him.
By Thursday afternoon, the brothers had to know their options were narrowing quickly. And then the FBI released their photos to millions of viewers across the city, and around the world via newspaper, television stations and websites. The time to move was now.
"I think this developed rather quickly last night," State Police Col. Timothy Alben said late Friday. "I would wager that most of the activity that was printed in the media yesterday forced them to make decisions or take actions that ultimately revealed who they were."
Associated Press writers Curt Anderson in Miami, Jeff Donn in Boston and Jay Lindsay in Watertown, Mass. contributed to this report.

Originally published in New York Press
Jolie Holland's music is steeped in haunting American Gothic imagery. References to moonshine, honeysuckle vines, back roads, weeds and mockingbirds seem both as literary and cinematic as they are Southern in character. Those images are further conveyed with her bittersweet gin-soaked amalgam of folk, jazz and blues.
The 31-year-old singer describes her songwriting as mythical. "The use of symbols and kind of like broad strokes to mean a lot of different things—like that's how I mean mythical," she explains.
Holland's subdued tales of melancholy, heartbreak and joy with romantic underpinnings can be heard on her recent third album, Springtime Can Kill You. The songs here sound as dreamy as they are lovelorn. The title track itself reveals a sort of irony about what we usually think of spring—as a time of rebirth and renewal. "The expectation in everything around you, everything is so beautiful," she says. "A heartache at that time is just horrible. It's just, like, extra horrible."
Her distinctive jazz- and blues-inflected croon has been compared to Billie Holiday and Bessie Smith, although she admits to being more inspired vocally by a legendary bluesman. "I never had any [voice] lessons," says Holland. "If you listened to Blind Willie McTell you might hear how I got my voice. Blind Willie McTell is the guy that I'm actually trying to sound like."
Holland recorded Springtime Can Kill You in San Francisco backed by a cast of talented musicians. "On this record," she says, "I just got pretty much all my favorite players in San Francisco to be on there. Everybody on there is somebody I deeply admired and respect."
A native of Houston, Holland knew she wanted to become a songwriter since she was a child. By her teens, she was into punk rock, The Pogues and the Texas-based band Twang Twang Shock-A-Boom. "They really steered me into the direction that I am going now," she says of the latter group. "Their lead guy [David Garza] went on to do a solo thing. I love what he does. I want to work with him somehow."
Holland, whose previous albums include Catalpa (2003) and Escondida (2004), has also appeared on Bad Religion singer Greg Graffin's recent solo effort, Cold as the Clay. Before she embarked on a solo career, Holland was a former member of the group the Be Good Tanyas (the lovely "Mexican Blue" from Springtime Can Kill You is dedicated to Be Good Tanyas member Samantha Parton). Since then, Holland has drawn raves for her music, most notably from Tom Waits, who nominated her for the Shortlist Music Prize in 2003.
When asked if she was a hopeless romantic, Holland responds that she has a really bad and unrequited crush at the moment, which she finds painful. But then she quickly follows that with, "It's so good for you to be in love at the same time."

On tonight's RidicuList, she's back! Our favorite newlywed/singer/love crusader waxes poetic about married life with a man three times her age.
Filed under: Anderson Cooper • Courtney Stodden • The RidicuList
Point the finger at the parents and the 51 year old who all seem to agree it's OK for him to have sex with a teenager. Stop making fun of her. The adults deserve the Ridicul, not her.
I love the Ridiculist, but enough is enough. Please stop giving these people airtime on your show. I know you want to show you have a lighter side, but you've had several stories about Courtney and Doug in the months since their wedding. It's getting old. Please move on... Maybe America will do the same.
This couple is horrifying, but what's worse is that I can't help but pay attention to everything about them. What a trainwreck.
Hilarious! Anderson, you are the best! I enjoy your Anderson Show and 360! This clip is too much..what a life! And, it's truly hysterical to watch her eat her face! What in the world is she doing????????????? hahahaha!!
OMG..she's married to Doug Hutchison? The last time anyone saw him in anything credible, was as the masochistic wimp 'Percy Wetmore' in the amazing film 'The Green Mile'. Doug Hutchison is actually three years OLDER than Courtney Stodden's DAD, Alex!
Maybe Doug will go back to gainful employment, working at one of the odd-ball jobs he had before his less-than illustrious acting career! Guess Courtney's parents think it's a match. Judging from her video, maybe they're not far off.
Two odd-ball birds of a feather. Good luck!
Anderson, quit giving TV time and TV mentions to these people!!! If they want a voice, let them do that supposed reality show that they think people will watch. As soon as she is of age, and Playboy, Hustler or any other skin magazine signs her, she'll be dumping his butt anyway
It is clear that this is a publicity stunt and the blushing bride is FAR older than 16!! Has no one questioned her claim of age, or requested documentation? Her overall manner, speech and appearance clearly show she cannot be 16. This is just two underemployed actors looking for exposure.
I love your Ridiculist Anderson and at first I too loved your rants about Courtney and her 50 year old husband....but, can't you find a new topic? I think these two would disappear if you just stopped talking about them! Can't wait for your next Ridiculist.....
ANDERSON, you missed your calling... you are right on with the Courtney impression! LOL... But I'm P'owed (spelled phonetically) that this chick has all those $$$$$$$ How fair is this????
Anderson Cooper goes beyond the headlines to tell stories from many points of view, so you can make up your own mind about the news. Tune in weeknights at 8 and 10 ET on CNN.

What's Mono?
- :kidshealth.org
- 919
Pucker up! Have you ever heard of the "kissing disease"? If you said that it's mono, you're absolutely correct.
But you don't get mono only from kissing. Infectious mononucleosis, called mono for short, is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), which is a type of herpes virus. Other viruses in the herpes family cause cold sores and illnesses like chickenpox.
How Do Kids Get Mono?
Most people who get mono are between the ages of 15 and 25, but younger kids can get it, too. The mono virus affects the lymph nodes, throat, salivary glands, liver, spleen, and blood, and it can make a person feel tired and achy all over. It can also make you lose your appetite.
You probably know what your lymph nodes are, and you probably guessed that your salivary glands are inside of your mouth. But what about your spleen? It's located on the left side of your abdomen, just under the ribcage, and it helps cleanse your blood of bacteria and viruses.
Mono is contagious, which means you can spread the virus to other people who haven't had mono before. Even though you can get mono from kissing someone infected with EBV, there are other ways you can get it, but they all involve contact with saliva. Sharing straws, toothbrushes, or food from the same plate can also spread mono.
At first, people usually don't feel sick after getting infected with the EBV virus. So someone could be infected — and be spreading mono — and not even know it. That's why it's important not to share things like forks, straws, water bottles, or lip gloss at school.
What Are the Signs of Mono?
Mono can cause you to feel really, really tired, but you may have other symptoms, too. These include:
- fever
- sore throat
- swollen lymph nodes (the infection-fighting glands in your neck, underarms, groin, and elsewhere throughout your body)
- headaches
- sore muscles
- enlarged liver or spleen
Sometimes, it may seem like you have the flu or maybe strep throat because the symptoms are so much alike. The only way to tell for sure if you have mono is to go to a doctor, who will examine you and draw blood for tests (one test is called the Monospot) to see if you have mono.
What If I Have Mono?
Usually with mono you will need plenty of rest. This might mean no school for a while, no sports, and no running outside playing with friends or even wrestling with your little brother. While you're resting, it's a good idea to drink plenty of water and other fluids. You can ask your mom or dad to give you a pain reliever if you have a fever or if your muscles are sore. Don't take any aspirin, though, because that can put you at risk for a condition called Reye syndrome, which can be dangerous.
Other kids might not feel very sick at all, so a lot of bed rest isn't necessarily for everyone. But it's very important to listen to your body. Someone who has mono should tell a parent if he or she starts feeling worse. And if the person feels tired and run down, it's the body's way of saying more rest is needed.
If you play contact sports, such as football and basketball, you will probably need to avoid them while you're sick and for about a month after the illness — especially if your spleen is enlarged. Your doctor will let you know when it's safe for you to get back in the game.
You'll probably be happy to hear that mono usually goes away after a few weeks, even though you'll have to take it easy for awhile. Make sure you wash your hands after you cough or sneeze. Keep your straws, forks, and toothbrushes to yourself, and . . . no kissing for a few months!

From HaskellWiki
Revision as of 01:01, 9 February 2008 by Mark Wassell (talk | contribs) (Bump and propose new dates.)
There is AngloHaskell and now AmeroHaskell. Doesn't that call for OzHaskell?
Who would be interested to have a Haskell event in Australia, possibly in Sydney? This is just a wild idea without any concrete date or format yet. Jot down any suggestions on this page.
Interested Haskellers:
- Manuel Chakravarty (Sydney)
- Tony Morris (Brisbane)
- Matthew Brecknell (Brisbane, will travel, prefer late Jan)
- Mark Wassell - Prefer Jan/Feb option.
- Roman Leshchinskiy
- Brad Clow (Brisbane)
- Jeremy Apthorp
- Andrew Appleyard (Sydney)
- Bernie Pope (Melbourne)
- Ben Lippmeier
- Rohan Drape (Melbourne)
- Ivan Miljenovic (Brisbane)

- David Overton (London, soon to be Melbourne)
- Michael Leeming (Sydney)
- Ben Horsfall (Melbourne)
(Add your name!)
Possible dates
How about one of the following between Easter and ANZAC day:
- Friday 4/ Saturday 5 April
- Friday 11/ Saturday 12 April
- Friday 18/ Saturday 19 April
How about the following?
- One day meeting with informal talks and demos (preferably on a Friday)
- There could be a second, even less formal day, for those who want to hang out some more and maybe some hacking
- Run it at the University of New South Wales, Sydney
(Add your thoughts to the above.)
Talks and demos
Do you have anything you'd like to talk about or a system you'd like to demo? This is just a tentative list - you commit to nothing.
Talk proposals
- Manuel Chakravarty: Type-level Programming with Type Families
- GHC recently gained support for data families and type synonym families (which are a generalisation of our earlier proposal for associated types). In this talk, I'd give an overview over this new language feature, illustrate what it is good for, and discuss why I believe it fits Haskell better than functional dependencies.
- Bernie Pope: The GHCi debugger
- A new breakpoint debugger has been added to GHCi. In this talk, I'd demonstrate how to use the debugger, and also go into some detail about how it works. I might even discuss the relative advantages and disadvantages of this debugger over tools such as Hat.
Demo proposals
- rohan drape: supercollider for haskellers
- an introduction to, and demonstration of, the hsc3 haskell bindings to the supercollider3 real-time audio synthesiser; or making experimental music in experimental haskell.

This is one of my favourite articles about Hamilton's history. The Argus of 23 September 1870 reported that on the Sunday morning past, September 18, at 3am "the residents of Hamilton were aroused from their beds by the cry of "Fire!" and a large crowd soon collected in Gray Street…" What follows is a story of a desperate battle to save not only the shops surrounding the grocery story of Nickless and Wells but beyond.
The article gives an interesting insight into how a fire of such intensity was managed in the 19th century. Many buildings were wooden and there was little or no water pressure. An early decision to pull down the butcher shop of Messrs. Brown Brothers to create a gap between the fire and the rest of the buildings in the block was to no avail as the fire was quickly spreading from the other side of Nickless and Wells. Firefighting attempts were also hindered by the large crowd that had gathered.
Hamilton's main street, Gray Street, is no stranger to fire. Actually, there seems to have been an unusually large number of fires, causing significant damage often to several buildings in the town's CBD. I did a quick browse of Trove and found fires such at these in the following years alone: 1874, 1885, 1888, 1900, 1912, 1914, 1920, 1930, 1932, 1938, 1944.
On August 1, 1962, one of Hamilton's largest fires occurred when Strachan's Department store, on the corner of Gray and Brown Street burnt out in a spectacular fire, talked about for years after. During my time in Hamilton, 1970s and 80s, a large car showroom was destroyed on the opposite corner of Gray and Brown Street. Since then, I can think of two other fires in Gray Street in the block between Brown and Thompson Streets. The most recent saw the Target store destroyed in October 2004 by a fire the Mayor of the time, Cr. Don Robertson considered large enough have burnt out the CBD. What differed between the fire of 1870, with the same potential, and the Target fire was that in the case of the latter, a $1.2 million ladder platform truck was rushed from Ballarat and thermal imaging equipment came from Portland. Huge advances from the times of horse-drawn fire-carts!
With the tendency for fires in the CBD, it was no surprise that after a fire in Gray Street in 1932, Councillor Hughes thought smoke helmets could be of some use to the fire brigade.

Police say they have linked the suspect dubbed the 'Teardrop rapist' to 35 attacks on women since 1996.
Post by: Miguel Marquez
Filed under: Crime & Punishment
When the news of Sandusky's verdict was out,I made a comment about this Evil Oldman,targetted and victimized young boys,I don't even want to see his face on Newspapers or Tv.
My broyher was in Ashland ,Kentucky State Prison years ago and before they let anyone out the inmates would hold them down and give them a tattoo of a teardrop under their eye so they would know each other for ears to come. With al the picturs looking so dfferent could it be more than one person . Could be why the tattoo is under a different eye on some of them. My brother had his taken off back in the 70's but could the same thing still be going on in Ashland?
This guy needs to be fed to the alligators.
Very slowly lowered into a pit full of gators.
This will send a message to all others, that the rape of anyone,
women or man, will not be tolerated by anyone.
To all women of Los Angeles... KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN!! When a stranger appears from out of nowhere and starts up a conversation with you, always be on guard. And to mothers, make sure your daughters are well informed of this serial predator. Their safety depends on you to educate them well!
So once again, women should be afraid to go out in public and live their lives because some man chooses to be a serial rapist. No admonishment to rapists or other predators at all to stop harming other people. Furthermore, women don't need to leave the house to be sexually assaulted. This is more of the same victim-blaming that treats women as if they aren't capable, functioning adults.
As a former law enforcement agent I hope they considered that that tattoos are temporary. That would explain the witnesses descriptions of the the tattoos being on different sides.
I agree with Doug's ,sometimes tattoes are temporary,here in Japan they call it "Oneday" tattoe.This is really scary.I hope he'll be caught soon.
